The master of form in the weaving workshop, Georg Muche, recognized her special talent in the field of textiles and entrusted her with creating a carpet to her own design as an introduction to it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-ho-lane-item col col-md-6 col-xs-12 col-md-offset-6\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body-einzug'>Gertrud Arndt quickly became a specialist; her best-known work was a carpet produced for Walter Gropius\u2019s office. On completing her apprenticeship examination, she entirely turned to photography. Starting in 1929, she took photographic self-portraits in a series she called \u2018Mask Portraits,\u2019 dramatizing herself with only a few accessories; the photographs are internationally well-known today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":3634,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"subtitle":"Weaver and photographer, 1923\u20131931"},"class_list":["post-5360","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"seo_titel":"","keywords":"","noindex":false,"redirect":"","short_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/5360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/5360\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22904,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/5360\/revisions\/22904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
